1.66ct Canadian Hessonite Garnet
$300.00
1.66ct Grossular (Hessonite) Garnet, Jeffrey Mine, Asbestos, Quebec
Cut in USA in Arya Akhavan’s “Zankoku” design
8.81 x 6.88 x 4.88 mm
Eye clean, which is quite unusual for Jeffrey Garnets. Hessonite is almost always full of “treacle” or small inclusions. This is not the case here, and the result is a fantastically bright gem in a scrumptious peach sherbert color. The Jeffrey is now closed and flooding, the prospects for future production of this material are not good 🙁
